This is the new home of one of the oldest Western railfan sites on the web.

Begun as a tribute to the Denver & Rio Grande Western, the site has expanded to include many other railroads in the states surrounding the Four Corners.

Browse the links to explore the extensive collection of photographs, topical articles, and information.


Merry Christmas!  From me to all of you.

 

New Video Feature  Here's a short .MOV file of a Durango & Silverton train, pulling out of Rockwood on 8/26/2007.  I'll be posting other such videos from time to time.  It's a silent movie, so don't bother adjusting your sound...  (Plays well with Real Player, or choose your own.)
 


I have written a book covering the entire history of the Rio Grande, published by Motorbooks Press.  To date this is the only cradle-to-grave account in print of the D&RGW.  Beautifully illustrated with 150 photographs, full of easy-to-follow historical information, it is a must-have for any student or fan of the Rio Grande.
